Hmm, seems to review quite well, of course it's also the most expensive of the ones I'm considering. Sounds like the reverb is nice and it has tremolo as well eeeenteresting...

i use both, spring tube reverb and love it, and, i also use a strymon big sky reverb pedal and love it. as with everything on the agf, it is all subjective.
with my vox ac15c1, i use the tube reverb and the tremolo that is built in. i don't like any pedals at all since i can get a great clean sound and a great dirty sound just by tweaking the knobs. with my tweed princeton and blackpanel champ combo, i use the strymon blue sky and love the sound i get with it. play music!

Yep, it may be a little above price range, but if you're open to buying pre owned, it should hit your range.

The digi-verb in my Bugera V22 can surf rather well - only thing it doesn't do that my Fenders can is "crash" when you smack the side of the cabinet...

Ha! So only fender offers the crash? Is it digital or analogue crash?
Thanks for all the input everyone! There seems to be lots of love for the Vox and they review very well. Muscmp, what have you compared the Vox clean tones to? Lots of reviews rave about the dirty tones but not many say much about the clean ones. Also, is it capable of descent tones at practice volumes? |

If you are truely a jazz guy with bedroom aspirations then a solid state amp is fine. You will not be using the break up of a tube amp and will want lots of head room. A fender Mustang works well for that. If you think you want to do some Fusion, aka Robben Ford with Miles Davis, then we might be talking a different amp. I think the Fender Bassbreaker 7w is a great small amp that will allow for tube distortion without running the neighbors to the Police station complaining of all the noise.

as far as the vox clean tones, i really couldn't do a comparison as i have a few amps set up in my room and they have their own particular sound. that is why i have them. so, to me, the vox just has the ability to do both clean and dirty sounds very well. i seem to use it for rhythm tracks depending upon what is called for in the song, clean or dirty, effects or not. the princeton and champ combo is used to produce lead guitar tracks with various pedals that are connected and ready to use. my 66 deluxe reverb is used a lot for rhythm guitar tracks utilizing the built in reverb and/or tremolo. i also use a gibson ga79rvt that uses el84 tubes like the vox but it doesn't sound anywhere near it. i just take the amps for what they will give me and pair it/them with whatever guitar will get me the sound i want. play music!

I've had three Fender Blues JRs..
It's a decent amp, but it's not going to go to "hard rock" / "metal" kinds of tones despite the master volume. It's just not voiced that way. You can get something quite a bit more versatile for the money a new Blues JR. will run you. I would check out the Fender Mustang III if you're looking for an amp that has a wide range of available tones. |

Yeah, Still haven't gotten down to check anything out yet (wife is sick and I'd get nowhere taking a 2 1/2 and 5 year old to a music store), but based on all the reading I've been doing I'm starting to lean away from the Blues Junior.
The top contender at the moment is the Traynor YGL1. Great spec with an eminence greenback and an awesome warranty. I also like the looks of the YVC20 for a bit more loot with its pedal switchable clean and dirty channels and even a speaker defeat and headphone jack. Some reviews have commented that the dirty channel isn't as good sounding as the YGL though. I'll try them both and let my ears decide. Definitely not looking for metal tones. Not a huge metal fan. Looking for it to be able to do primarily clean from twang to warm jazz, and a bit of grit for blues. Dirtiest tones I would ever be looking for would be some Led Zep stuff. |

for about $330, the Mustang III is a pretty good catch. The tube fanatics hate the idea of these modeling amps. I was skeptical too, ill I tried one.
They didn't make me go running off to login to ebay and list my tube amps, (I have a III and a IV) but, for sure I can get some great sounds out of them. As an parlor/music room/practice amp, the MIII is pretty good option. |
